Nisbet will be signing his book "The Collector: David Douglas & The Natural History of the Northwest." About the Book Jack Nisbet turns his attention to David Douglas, the premier botanical explorer in the Pacific NW. Douglas’ discoveries include hundreds of western plants—most notably, the Douglas Fir. The Collector tracks Douglas’s fascinating history and takes readers on Douglas’ journeys into the then-obscure realms from Puget Sound to the Sandwich Islands. Nisbet evokes a lost world of early exploration, pristine nature, ambition, and cultural and class conflict with surprisingly modern resonances.
